I certainly hope this wasn't the reason for the video message. I suspect it was just a heat of the moment reaction. Incidentally, the offending video clip has now been removed from Ringo's official website. Red faces all around eh!

I hope he's not ill. He looked thinner than usual, I thought.I think it's fine that he said what he said.After all these years, and the pleasure he's given people, he can do whatever the heck he likes...within reason!

It was a really bad way to do it, especially as his updates are usually so great. But it hasn't been a great year for him, PR wise. His comments about Liverpool, whilst not meant arrogantly, did come off that way, especially when he was flogging an album with only one selling point - Liverpool.

He comes across much better on the Biography Channel interview - anyone else catch that?

it's people with your attitude is why people have wars with each other. you just annoy and annoy, and genuinely try to get on peoples nerves, and when they ask you kindly to stop, you just keep beating the dead-horse hoping to get a rise out of people.
